    Rise up burrito
    Tina J.

    Cute little coffee shop. Nice selections of breakfast foods. I had the blueberry muffin which was very fresh. My husband got a burrito and loved it. Only thing keeping me from giving 5 stars is the extra cost for flavors in lattes and not a great variety of special flavors. Would Definately recommend going.

    First coffee shop we hit on our weeklong trip. I ordered a toasted everything bagel with dill cream cheese and my hubby got a breakfast burrito called the sunset, it had a million things in it and was THICK. Chorizo, tater tots, jalapeños and more. It stayed together perfect and we liked the hot sauce options they had there. We also got two drinks, iced matcha latte sweetened with simple syrup and a cold brew with the maple spice flavor. We liked our drinks but I didn't love the spice in the maple. I also would like to see them do some homemade coffee syrups to make them more original, since I have lots of monin syrups at home. The cold brew was smooth tho! We plan on coming back. It was really busy but I thought everyone working there was friendly. There's a rewards system too. And parking! What more can ya ask for. We will prob be back, tomorrow! Ambiance is, cool.

    This coffee shop is simply wonderful. The staff is hard working and friendly, the coffee is AMAZING, and the food is fresh and delicious. I love their iced coconut latte. It's yummy to mix mocha in as well for an almond Joy flavor. The smashed banana bowl is a must for yogurt parfait lovers. The homemade granola and vanilla yogurt with fresh fruit is to die for. Such a great summer breakfast spot.

    We ended up visiting to get a frozen coffee smoothie, and we were not disappointed. I love the coffee since it's not bitter or leave a bad aftertaste. We didn't try the food but the service was quick. The ambiance was casual with a trendy vibe. I would recommend visiting Rise Up Coffee if you're looking for a local coffee shop and another alternative to Starbucks.

    The coffee shop was a really cute spot to try some local pastries and coffee. I love how much seating they had in doors and plenty of parking. Their menu is vast and has something for everyone. There was a really long line due to it being a popular place. I would say it is well worth it and I would wait in line again. The staff was really nice and accommodating to our allergies and new specifics about the menu. They offer plenty of merch in the store and I really wanted to take some cold brew with me. This coffee shop is a good spot to stop by and recharge.

    Rise Up Coffee is on the other side of the bridge in Ocean City, the best coffee/breakfast spot in the city. They have a wide range of drink and food options, all reasonably priced. We each got some food and a beverage. I got my usual Matcha which was creamy and very well done, my wife loved her coffee as well. She also got an everything bagel with cream cheese while I opted for the rise up breakfast burrito which was stellar, one of the best things we ate on our vacation. It was loaded with chorizo sausage, eggs, potato and cheese. You could also get it with avocado which I passed on, was even more delicious with each and every bite. I always appreciated that they had a bunch of hot sauces for those dining in to use, always a nice addition. Plenty of parking in the lot and a spacious amount of seating inside. Rise Up is the perfect breakfast spot for those looking to get a bite and some caffeine.

    This place was so trendy and cute! The cashier was really nice and helped me pick a drink that I was craving . I got an iced macchiato while I waited for my phone to charge. Looks like they offer plenty of breakfast/lunch items as well. Will have to try again soon!

    One day Ocean City trip and of course i had to stop by one of my favorite coffee spots! I enjoy drinking and eating out here, not going to lie. I live in the DMV area where everything is double the price. I love that i can get amazing coffee, smoothie, other blended options for such a bargain. What i would normally pay for your typically name brand like Starbucks for a large is what I can get for two large local and organic drinks at rise up. I love how this place looks so rustic like a farm. They have a lot of local baked items and very large and yummy soft cookies. Whoever they are sourcing the pastries from, they are doing it right! The cashier was very patient and friendly, i ordered drinks for the family so it was annoying me on my part already that we kept changing and adding things to the order. I am sure she was just as annoyed, but she didn't show it at all! So thank you nice redhead gal! Didn't catch her name, thank goodness they were not busy, but yeah it was 530pm on a Wednesday so i was very happy. My only issue is a did order a banana in my coffee banana smoothie that i did not taste in it. Other than that we all enjoyed our drinks and pastries!

    Chorizo breakfast burrito was perfect. Tater tots order was huge... probably could've shared one instead of getting one each. Super seasoned and crispy with fresh green onions, really good. The nitro coffee was bomb. Got here at 8am and no line but there was a line since then. Cool (literally, too; good a/c) vibes and plenty of high tops to sit at.

    Good coffee Banana coffee smoothie Gluten-free wraps are solid Merch is cool Staff are just as cool and kind

    Double bacon breakfast burrito

    Best breakfast burrito. So flavorful and filling! The chili verde goes so well with it! This place gets insanely crowded so ordering a head is a smart move!

    Iced matcha latte with oatmilk
    Kathy M.

    5 solid stars for consistently great coffees in the Ocean City area. Our go-tos are their lattes and their chocolate banana coffee frozen drinks aka a smoothie! Add an extra shot of espresso on the latter and it will even make it better for caff afficionados. They also offer decaf and half-decaf espresso drinks and coffees for those who love the flavor of coffee yet cannot do a fully caffeinated drink. * iced mocha ($0.50) latte, half caf, oatmilk ($0.50) was rich, creamy and nutty with a balanced milk:espresso ratio. Paper straws available but they were sturdy to last me the whole drink-- I'm sure this little fun fact will be useful to some! * hot americano- great bold flavor, not sour. A classic. *frozen banana chocolate coffee- yes and yes, despite the initial hesitation of a banana in a coffee drink and not just in a plain smoothie. Try it and you will be coming back for more. *iced chai latte, oatmilk ($0.50) - great flavor and not too milky. A good balance of all the spices. *iced matcha latte with oatmilk ($0.50) - rich matcha flavor, and it is served unstirred so you can fully appreciate the fresh matcha and the milk, no artificial green flavored drink here. It was a good balance of flavors and not too sweet. Rise Up also serves açaí bowls, breakfast sandwiches, breakfast burritos, avocado toast, and as well as a pastry counter. Tables are communal, interior is spacious and clean. The lines are organized and pushes through along so do not be discouraged if there is a long line. Service is friendly and timely. The baristas know their stuff and have gotten it down to a science. Parking lot, clean restrooms, growlers and merch available . Always a go-to spot despite having to cross the bridge from OC!

Definite sit at the bar and chat with one of their amazing and friendly bartenders when dining. This last visit they made me an amazing crab cake sandwich. The grab meat was so fresh and plentiful. No filler or anything. Can't go wrong with anything here though.

Customer Service: Hands down the best we experienced during our 9-day family trip to OCMD. Karri, our waitress, made us feel like family, loved her. Jeff & Mike were professional, friendly, and made a point to engage with every table. Breakfast? PHENOMENAL. Best we've had, not just this summer, but in all our years visiting OCMD. My wife and son agree. Everything was homemade and cooked to order. No frozen shortcuts. Portions were just right, flavors balanced beautifully, and nothing overly sweet. Nashville Hot Stuffed French Toast: The bourbon and caramelized apples stole the show. Chicken was a fun twist, though next time I'd get it on the side to keep the sweet and spicy separate. You can skip the chicken altogether and save $4 if you'd like. Banana Foster French Toast: Mind-blowing. The kind of dish that makes you question everything you've ever called "breakfast." Plate was licked clean. Already dreaming of it for summer 2026. Creamed Chipped Beef over Biscuits: Shared this one. Generous portion, nostalgic flavor, clearly a recipe passed down and perfected. Triple Decker: My son had the chocolate chip pancakes, huge portion, perfect texture, and he loved every bite. Only minor con: straws come unwrapped in your drink. Not a dealbreaker, but something to note. Final score: 25/25. Solid A+. Verdict: Highly recommended. We'll be back in summer 2026, no question.

We saw some good ratings and gave this place a shot and we weren't disappointed. We were greeted by a friendly and welcoming staff who helped us make the right selection. As my wife was fasting, she went with a small fruit bowl, my son chose shortstack pancakes, and I tried the veggie hash. The fruit bowl was decorated well and had plenty of variety. From blueberries, strawberries, kiwi, watermelons, apples, bananas, and others, all the fruits were fresh and perfectly ripe. The pancakes were very large and just one would have been more than enough for two people it seems but they even added berries for my son on them. The veggie hash had lots of potential. It was cooked well, however, lacked seasoning. It seemed slightly bland and I had to utilize ketchup to give it some identity. However, the quality and variety of veggies inside was great. Overall, I am giving four stars due to the fact that the prices are high, but the service and quality are worth it; especially for such a close location to the boardwalk.

Always farm fresh eggs, and they repurpose the bacon grease to make soap, rather than send it to the landfill. I got the sausage & gravy. Big portion and pretty good, although, like so many other places that offer this dish, it would have been nice to have the option to add an egg or two. (And a nice upsell!) My wife got eggs, toast & bacon, and she asked to have the bacon CRISP. Either our server forgot to tell the kitchen, or key it into his POS terminal (it wasn't on the ticket) but the bacon came out limp & inedible for my wife. IMHO, this diner is geared for people that like dessert for breakfast, with many French toast options.
